Sun Xiangyi was about to nod in agreement when she heard her daughter wailing suddenly. “It’s over!” She quickly asked her daughter, “What’s wrong, baby?”

Lu Youyou put on a sad face. “That Gu Fan must have recognized me and knew that I was the person who saved Fang Yichu in Jiang City back then!”

When Gu Fan saw her face, he was extremely surprised and even called out her surname. Lu Youyou was a little afraid. “Fang Yichu was pretending to be mute. For him to be able to pretend for so many years, he must be extremely careful in whatever he does. He spoke in front of me, so he must have recognized me as the person who saved him back then!”

Lu Qisheng pondered and did not speak.

Lu Youyou continued, “When I got out of the car, he even gave me his cell phone number. Could this be a trap? Maybe he’s waiting for me to call him now! Think about it, there are so many coincidences, and he’s in such a delicate situation. Anyone would be suspicious!”

The air in the house suddenly froze. Lu Youyou looked at her father and then at her mother.

Although she was intelligent, she was still a young lady. She had grown up in a warm, complete family and had been extremely well protected by her parents. She had never experienced a real battle between the rich and powerful. She did not have any experience in the ways of the society. Even though she had seen and heard a lot, she would never be able to understand completely as she did not go through it herself.

Sun Xiangyi said worriedly. “If Fang Yichu is suspicious, he won’t accept Youyou for sure. This marriage can be considered as over. But Fang De values our corporation’s patents a lot. If the marriage with his youngest son doesn’t work, there’s still the Second Young Master and Third Young Master in the Fang family. The Second Young Master is much older and the Third Young Master is a playboy who has countless beauties around him. They…” None of them were as safe as Fang Yichu, a man who was cripped in both legs!

Fang De had been a playboy all his life and had four wives. How could his sons be expected to be loyal to a single woman for life?

This business marriage was a transaction to begin with. Lu Youyou was the only daughter of the Lu family and was highly cherished by Lu Qisheng and his wife. How could they bear to let their treasure be held back by the useless sons of the Fang family?

According to their original plan, with the business marriage, the Lu family would share their patent with the Fang family, and in return, the Fang family would share their snow silk technology which had been passed down for hundreds of years. After reaching a mutually beneficial agreement, this marriage would be annulled.

It was a well-known fact that Fang Yichu was disabled and could not carry out the duties of a normal couple after marriage. In addition, Lu Youyou was young and could easily remarry after the divorce, so there was no conflict at all.

But now that he thought about it, not only was Sun Xiangyi worried, but Lu Qisheng’s position began to waver. “If the final marriage partner is not Fang Yichu, I don’t want the benefits of the marriage anymore as well. I can’t obstruct my daughter’s life!”

The Lu family were not unscrupulous people who valued benefits above all. It was Old Master Fang who took the initiative to approach them. He had taken a fancy to their Textile Group’s award-winning patent and his daughter. Lu Qisheng did not agree to Fang De on the spot. Instead, he went home to discuss it with his wife and daughter.

The Lu family was not tempted at first. It was Fang De who invited Lu Qisheng to the office again to discuss in detail. He offered his ancestral snow silk technology in exchange and highly recommended Fourth Young Master, Fang Yichu.

At that time, Lu Qisheng asked Fang De tentatively. “Young people nowadays have different thoughts from us. If their personalities don’t match after marriage, I’m afraid they might not last long…”

Fang De replied cunningly. “It doesn’t matter. If they don’t have a good marriage life in the future and wish to get a divorce, we as their elders have to prioritize their wishes.”

In other words, Fang De condoned this marriage to be in name only! His goal was purely business interests!

Thinking that his daughter would not be harmed in any way and that a marriage in name could be mutually beneficial, Lu Qisheng was thus tempted.

Moreover, Fang De contacted Lu Qisheng after he made a call to confirm that Fang Yichu would return to the Fang family. “My Fourth Son is about to return through the mountain road. His temper is a little strange…”

Lu Qisheng was very smart. With Fang De’s hint, Lu Youyou stopped Fang Yichu’s car in the rain and deliberately attracted Fang Yichu’s attention.

“I think we should forget it!” Lu Youyou said in a nasal voice. “When I spoke to Fang Yichu today, I felt very guilty. What if he really has feelings for me? What should I do? Playing with others’ feelings is worse than stealing their money!” She had a great shock especially when Fang Yichu spoke to her. Wasn’t he afraid that she would leak out his secret? Or did he trust her completely?
